The GPX 6000 is significantly lighter at 2.1 kg versus the heavier GPX 5000, making all-day use much more practical. The 6000 adds automatic ground balance tracking that adapts to ground changes in real time, eliminating the frequent manual retuning that made the 5000 demanding to use in variable ground. The GeoSense-PI technology in the 6000 is also improved for small-nugget sensitivity. For prospectors still running a GPX 5000, the 6000 is a genuine upgrade in both performance and usability. For new buyers, the 6000 is the current standard.
